Boys & Girls Clubs of Lake and Sumter Counties announces the launch of the Summer Brain Gain program, a summer learning loss prevention program developed specifically for Boys & Girls Clubs.
Each summer, an estimated 43 million children in the U.S. miss out on expanded learning opportunities that could prevent them from falling behind before the next school year begins. During summer, most youth lose about two months' worth of math skills. Low-income youth also lose more than two months' worth of reading skills, while their middle-class peers make slight gains.
"Summer learning losses can stack up from year to year, causing low-income children to fall further and further behind, ultimately endangering their chances of high school graduation," said Freddy Williams, Chief Executive Officer. "We are committed to ensuring that our community's youth, especially those who need us most, graduate from high school on time with a plan for the future. That's why we are offering the Summer Brain Gain program to fight the detrimental effect of summer learning loss."
Summer Brain Gain is comprised of 17 one-week modules with fun, themed activities for elementary school, middle school and high school students. Supported by Disney, each module takes a project-based learning approach; youth engage in a process of learning through discovery, creative expression, group work and a final project or production. With modules topics such as "Green Team," "Wacky Watch" and "Connect the Dots," participants can make sculptures out of found objects, create weather in a bottle, or even learn how they are connected to the President of the United States of America.
Summer Brain Gain was pilot tested in more than 200 Clubs in 2013. While the average low-income U.S. student lost at least two months of learning last summer, the average Summer Brain Gain participant did not. Given this positive impact, Summer Brain Gain will be offered at 1,000 Boys & Girls Clubs across the country this summer, including Boys & Girls Clubs of Lake and Sumter Counties.
For more information about Summer Brain Gain, please visit www.greatfutures.org/braingain.

Once you've stopped the recording process, you can save it and replay it. DejaClick recreates the recorded function exactly whenever it's replayed, no matter how many times it does it. This seems like a great way to save time on frequent and tedious operations.

"Just Another Man"
He looks in the mirror every morning and night,
Does he see what I see, it would be nice if he might.
He sees a rude man as he stands there,
I see someone who needs someone to care.
He sees a mean man, because he has to be tough,
I see someone who deals with more than enough.
He sees how he tries not to cry and feels he has no heart,
I see someone who has to keep his feelings and work apart.
He sees a murderer because he shot someone last night,
I see someone who saved someone else from a fight.
He sees a failure because he did not arrive in time
I see someone who did his best and needs peace of mind.
He sees just another man as he enters the day,
I see a special man who does his best in every way.
For all the years, he has put on the uniform of blue,
He has never realized how much he protects me and you.
But, as he starts the day again, I just wish he could see,
What he really is and how much he means to you and me.

Diversity is the theme of the AT&T Wireless Arizona Open, which tees off today for its three-day run at Troon Country Club in Scottsdale.
From high school students to card-carrying members of the PGA Tour, they're all there to compete for the $100,000 purse, with $20,000 going to the winner.
The biggest "name" player is Andrew Magee, a 20-year veteran of the big leagues who has missed the entire 2004 season while recovering from ankle surgery. At the opposite end is Notre Dame Prep's "Little Philip'' Francis, a 15-year-old who isn't "little'' any more after finishing as the low amateur in last year's Open.
Several noted PGA of America club pros from across the country also will be in the field, including Utah's Steve Schneiter and Minnesota's Don Berry.
Both Schneiter and Berry have captured the prestigious National Club Pro Championship, and Berry was selected as the PGA of America's player of the year in 2002.
Others with pedigree include former Arizona State All-American Chez Reavie of Mesa; Tom Stankowski, the older brother of Tour player Paul Stankowski; and Las Vegas pro Travis Long, who recently captured the Montana Open.
Then there are the "usual suspects'' from the sponsoring Southwest Section of the PGA. They include Don Yrene, the assistant pro from The Golf Club Scottsdale, who recently earned player of the year honors after winning the PING/SWPGA Championship; Grayhawk instructor Paul Trittler, whose season has been second-best only to Yrene's; Desert Mountain's Scott Frisch, yet another former ASU All-American; and Brett Upper, who played the PGA Tour for eight years before becoming the director of golf at Arizona Country Club.
"A great field for a great tournament on a great golf course,'' noted Scott Reid, the tournament director who also serves as the director of marketing for the SWPGA.
"We're missing a couple of guys who have played in the past due to scheduling conflicts. But, overall, moving the event (from June to September) has been a positive because Troon Country Club is in perfect condition, with the rough a little higher than it's been in the past.''
Reid's reference to those missing includes the defending champ, Greg Bruckner, who is playing on the Nationwide Tour. Also on the MIA list are several players of note from the Grey Goose Gateway Tour, as the Scottsdale-based minitour is concluding its season today.
But as Reid pointed out, "When you have guys like Andrew Magee in the field, that's a big plus.''
Magee, a longtime East Valley resident, said he was only able to accept the Arizona Open's invitation because "I can ride in a cart for all 54 holes.''
"I don't know what to expect,'' said Magee. "I guess I needed to see where I am, and I couldn't have played if I had to walk.''
Magee's right foot still has not healed from ankle surgery performed in October 2003. "It's starting to come around, but I still have some soreness,'' he said.
Play begins at 7 a.m. each day, with the field cut to the low 60 and ties for Saturday's final.

1. Look out for Marist. The RedHawks struggled in 2013 and lost nine key seniors from that team, but a young squad is putting it together awfully quick this season. Marist is 3-1-1, including a huge 1-0 win over Sandburg. Mary Brennan scored the game-winner against the Eagles. Sophomore Ashley Smialek has recorded four shutouts and Marist has allowed just one goal. The RedHawks' lone loss was a 1-0 defeat to Andrew.
2. Lincoln-Way West has firepower. Speaking of young talent, there is plenty at West. The Warriors, who start three freshmen and three sophomores, entered Monday with a 5-1 record. Sophomore Brianna Heyer, and juniors Natalie Tannura and Emily Wyskiel should help the Warriors continue to score plenty despite key losses from last season, including All-State performer Cori Brennan. West finished fifth in the Windy City Ram Classic, earning a big win over Tinley Park in the process.
3. The South Suburban Blue is improving. Aside from powerhouse Lemont and a Tinley Park squad that's also capable of making a postseason run in Class 2A, the league looks to be a bit deeper this season. Both Oak Forest and Bremen were 3-2 entering Monday, with the Bengals picking up a big win against Homewood-Flossmoor and the Braves knocking off South Suburban Red rivals Oak Lawn and Argo. T.F. United has struggled early but can't be forgotten.

Playground surfacing was the biggest problem. Almost one in four of these playgrounds didn't have proper surfacing, which should be either a uniform surface made from rubber or other energy-absorbing material or loose-fill wood chips.
"If a playground is done correctly with the appropriate surfacing, when a climbing child overreaches and falls, he or she can just get up and brush themselves off, rather than paying the price of a broken bone or a traumatic brain injury," Smith explained.
The study found that in playgrounds with a loose-fill surface, most didn't have the recommended 9 to 12 inches of fill in place. But nearly all of the playgrounds did have cover over the concrete footings used to secure playground equipment, and provided a 6-foot use zone of soft surfacing.
Rust or peeling paint was a significant problem at about two-thirds of the playgrounds.
The researchers also found that in areas where more children live, there were more failing playgrounds, yet fewer playgrounds overall.
Similarly, neighborhoods with a larger percentage of the population living below the poverty level had more failing playgrounds, and fewer playgrounds overall. Areas with more blacks had more failing playgrounds, and areas with more Hispanics had fewer playgrounds, according to the study.
Sheehan said that a lack of money might be an issue in some of these communities, although she said the parks district was working on parks in all areas. In some cases, she said, the lack of available playgrounds has to do with the areas. There may be a lot of industrial buildings and not a lot of free space. If industrial areas are abandoned, some may be contaminated, she noted.

Editorial: Far from finished
Wednesday, June 29, 2011
Our View
A common practice in Craig and Moffat County is to complain about a problem rather than do something about it. However, the same can't be said for the developer and volunteers behind Thunder Ridge Motor Sports Park. Although there are kinks to be worked out at the racetrack, the new development is an important, ambitious venture that deserves community support.
Craig Editorial Board, Jan. to March 2012
- Al Cashion, community representative
- Jeff Pleasant, community representative
- Bryce Jacobson, newspaper representative
- Bridget Manley, newspaper representative
- Chris Nichols, community representative
- Josh Roberts, newspaper representative
It's a sad but true reality that, at least at times, the Craig and Moffat County way is to complain about a problem rather than take action.
This is true in areas such as economic development and recreational activities, both of which a vocal contingent believes there is a shortage of.
But, that sentiment doesn't apply when considering Craig resident Gregg Kolbaba and the volunteers who have helped launch Thunder Ridge Motor Sports Park south of Craig.
The sports park, which has hosted two events so far and has another slated for this weekend, is an important and ambitious attempt at providing the community with an entertainment venue and a boost to the economy.
Although attendance hasn't been booming at either of the two events so far, and the track has kinks to work out, the Editorial Board commends Kolbaba and the volunteers for their efforts in putting together something positive for the community.
The track development has required numerous hours of work to get to this point, and Editorial Board members are confident it will be successful as the operation is refined and an audience builds.
The development, board members contend, simply needs time to mature.
But, in one respect, timing couldn't be better for the birth of Thunder Ridge.
Our community has long-needed a racetrack to keep local dollars here rather than allowing money to leak to the Hayden Speedway, and with the speedway taking this season off to smooth out its own operational issues, a window exists for Thunder Ridge to pluck away drivers and spectators.
There's an opportunity for our community to capitalize on a potentially viable racing market.
The Editorial Board is pleased that the people behind Thunder Ridge recognize as much and are doing something about it, going against the local tradition that sometimes exists of whine first and do something never.
— Editorial Board member Gregg Kolbaba, who owns and operates Thunder Ridge Motor Sports Park, did not participate in Tuesday's discussion regarding the racetrack.

I commend Mr. Kolbaba for trying as well, but there has to be a way to make money with it or it will be just another dirt pile.
Great job with it, however, Mr. Kolbaba. I know you've worked your butt off and wish nothing but success, even though I don't know where it will come from. Hopefully you can get it in the circuit..

Reviewed Easy Cake Mix Coffee Cake (Also Known As Breakfast Cake)
Friday, Jan 31, 2014 on Food.com
"This is a wonderful coffee cake. I made it, but used my own glaze: 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup butter, 1 tsp butter flavoring. Put in pan, bring to a boil, medium, stir, cook 1 to 2 min. Pour onto hot cake. So so good. Took it to my Bible study recently, not a crumb left!! Thanks. Kathy" "

Liberty Bell Bank Reports 2012 Fourth Quarter And Annual Results Of Operations
Total deposits increased $4.2 million to $154.8 million at December 31, 2012 from $150.6 million at December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in non-interest bearing demand accounts and a $2.4 million increase in interest bearing accounts.
The Bank continues to increase non-interest bearing deposit accounts. Total non-interest bearing deposit accounts at December 31, 2012 were $15.4 million as compared to $13.6 million at December 31, 2011. Non-interest bearing accounts were 10.0% of total deposits at December 31, 2012 as compared to 9.1% of total deposits at December 31, 2011. The growth in deposits was from the Bank's local area market.
The increase in interest-bearing deposit accounts of $2.4 million was due primarily to an increase in money market deposit accounts, which increased $10.5 million from $46.7 million at December 31, 2011 to $57.2 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, savings deposit accounts increased $831,000 from $12.5 million to $13.3 million at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Certificates of deposit, our highest cost deposits, decreased $8.9 million from $77.8 million to $68.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
At December 31, 2012, our criticized/classified assets totaled $8.5 million, a $7.1 million decrease from $15.6 million at December 31, 2011 while other real estate owned increased $1.1 million from $4.5 million to $5.6 million at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Criticized/classified assets plus other real estate owned totaled $20.2 million at December 31, 2011 as compared to $14.2 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $6.0 million.
"We have made considerable progress in addressing and resolving problem assets, which fortunately have been essentially stabilized since 2011," said CEO Kevin Kutcher, adding, "The legal processes of our foreclosure efforts and the like has been excruciatingly slow in New Jersey. We are now seeing opportunities for justifiable collateral liquidations and property sales. At the same time we continue to advance another of our primary strategic objectives – growing core non-interest bearing business based checking accounts. This will pay significant dividends as the economy recovers and interest rates eventually rise."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Recent Madeira Beach Reviews
Mom and daughter beach weekend
We had a group of 5 mom/daughter pairs share this house for 4 nights while in town for a gymnastics meet. The location of this house is perfect. The house is situated on the beach for easy access (which was our main criteria when looking for a house). The view was spectacular and the beach was not too busy or touristy. The shared areas in the house and the deck were perfect for hanging out. The decor and furniture were very functional for our group and we were not lacking for anything. Everybody had their private space, but plenty of room to hang out as a group. It was very nice to have a washer and dryer. The property was clean.
Our only minor issues were the main floor was not accessible to the top floor without going outside. This was not ideal, especially since the kids were running back and forth and this house is on a busy street. Also, the guests staying in the largest bedroom did not have access to a bathroom unless they were willing to walk outside or through another guest's bedroom. These were minor issues, however, because the rest of the functionality of the house and the perfect location trumped any inconveniences.
Beautiful, 100% functional, perfect location!
This house was clean, well-maintained, and with all the amenities you could ask for on a perfect beach getaway! The patio was perfect for breakfast outside or cards and cocktails in the evening. Comfortable furniture, awesome kitchen. Loved having tupperware too! We had an amazing vacation in Madeira Beach and this house was perfect!
Great place to stay!
This house was perfect for our FL vacation. We traveled with 3 adults, an 11 year old, a 10 year old, an 8 year old and a 3 year old. The upstairs loft was perfect for the older kids. They absolutely loved having their own "apartment" and playing the Wii. The stairs were steep, but everyone got used to them quickly. The rest of the home was beautiful and well-equipped. The master bathroom and shower were amazing!
Location was great too - just a quick walk to the beach. We enjoyed the beach every morning and the beautiful backyard and pool by afternoon. The remote-controlled current in the pool was also a huge hit and the bonus pool toys and beach toys made our stay more fun.
Working with the owners was seamless and easy. I'd definitely recommend this property and hope to stay here again sometime.

Have loved cooking all my life but could never afford to become a line cook as salaries are low. But after my daughters grew up and left hoe, in what can only be considered my mid life crisis, I enrolled in culinary school and two years later began my culinary career. I discovered that not only do I love the action of cooking, but I love to create recipes as well. I began entering in recipe contests, and one of my recipes was the winner of Food Network's Ultimate Recipe Showdown3 - Hot & Spicy. I took my winnings - or rather what was left of my winnings after 6 months and packed up my hubby and dog and moved to NYC - another dream of mine. That was a few months ago and am still trying to find my way in NYC, but loving every minute. In the meantime I will keep cooking, creating, and now blogging as I have started a blog chronicaling my cooking adventures!

Supreme Court won't block Montana campaign law ahead of vote
By Dan Whitcomb

I've been working conventions and demoing games for many years (mainly card games though) and have always been fascinated by Descent when I've seen it (had a big love affair with Warhammer Quest and have been hoping for something alive that could replace it). So, finally I put my money where my desire was and bought Descent 2nd ed.
First impression is FFG quality, lots of nice components (Have some Runebound stuff since before), but is the game 'smaller' than 1st ed? (I remember seeing loads of figures over huge maps).
After playing a few of the introductory games with various heroes solo to learn the rules I'm starting to think that I'm doing something wrong, or is the OL really this weak? (ONCE I've knocked out a hero and the best I've ever managed before boss dies is 2 goblins of the board. I would love some hints and ideas how to play the OL side better so I can challenge my friends when they come to try it.
One thing I wonder is about the necromancers pet, can it do the same actions as the heroes or just move and attack (can I send it to search treasures while I fight for example), can it do 2 attack actions per round like a hero or one like a monster? Also for activation, does it count as a "monster group" with it's summoner and have to be activated with it, or does it count as a separate entity with it's own place in the activation order?
When I do multiple move actions, do I get one pool of MPs the total of the actions or do I get several pools of MP, one per action? (This can affect how I move if I'm moving through figures or obstacles as I might have to stop early and restart moving with multiple pools but with one big pole might use the points better).

I have fallen in love with AKDOs heavy rain marble tile series. The one I want is the Carrara Bella, which even with the best discount is going to be way out of my budget. I love that it has some honed and some polished, so it glimmers in the light, and I love the fresh light airy feel and it has some grays and browns. I've looked for a subsitute, but can't seem to find one. I wouldn't mind a thicker staggered strip (heavy rain has very small strips), but I still have yet to find one. Any help from you seasoned tile searchers would be appreciated! |

Ill student falls through housing's cracks
Rinehart confident in reduced enrollment next year to ease housing crisis
While sophomore Alex Butta casually lounged in a folding chair, the florescent light in his Midrise suite bounced off his smoothly shaved head. The intimidating pirate flag hanging on the wall behind him could not compare to the eight-inch scar beginning at his left temple and ending at the base of his skull. "During the winter break of last year, I had a routine checkup with my doctor and they found that my brain tumor had grown to the size of a lemon, and that I needed to get immediate surgery," Butta said. "It would have lasted the entire month of January, at least, and because of that my doctors decided that I should not come back to Marist that semester, to just take it off."
Scratching at the fine bristles of hair poking through his scalp, a smile spread across his face. "In the end, it was for the best, because I had to get radiation and chemo," he said. "It's annoying," he added with a laugh.
Despite the fact that Butta is living in Midrise dormitory among other sophomores, he technically refers to himself as a second-year freshman. Fortunately for him though, at Marist College, the Department of Housing and Residential Life guarantees on-campus housing for all resident freshmen and sophomores. Or so he thought.
In the 2006-07 academic year, Butta's freshmen year, the college admitted about 1,100 applicants. Prior to that year, though, it only admitted 975 freshmen - a difference of 125 more resident students. Consequently, during the 2006-07 academic year, the Department of Housing and Residential Life had to place resident sophomores in housing typically reserved for upperclassmen, such as the Foy and New townhouses.
This year, the college scaled back the number of admitted applicants to 1,038. Still, that number is above 1,000, resulting in an imbalance of resident students and available housing.
"When they were saying on-campus housing, I was pretty much expecting maybe the worst of the freshmen dorms or something like that," Butta said. "But, of course, they never have leftovers."
"It's not by design," said Dean of Admission Kent Rinehart about the sudden population surge. "We have reduced the number of admits, at least for this past year."
In sharp contrast, the commuter population has increased this year by a margin of 60 percent according to Rinehart. "Recognizing the housing challenge that we have, we lowered the number of transfer residents we were admitting," Rinehart said.
However, predicting the number of freshmen applicants serious about Marist is a difficult estimate, according to Rinehart. "With the Internet now, it's kind of difficult to get a sense of what kids are really interested, which kids are not that interested," Rinehart explained. "For thirty to thirty-five percent of our applicants, their first contact with us is the application."
He later added, "They never went on a tour with us. We never met them at their high school. They never called up and said 'Mail me more information.'"
Describing the current housing situation as "very, very tight," Rinehart believes that any tension shall be relaxed by next year. "I feel very confident in saying that we are going to admit fewer students this year than we did this previous year in an effort to lower the resident number," he said.
By the 2008-09 academic year, the college will have built the Lower Fulton townhouses, capable of holding upwards of 260 residents, according to the Dept. of Housing and Residential Life.
Even so, Butta anticipated that the Department of Housing and Residential Life had made special accommodations for him after recuperating from chemotherapy. Fortunately, they did. Unfortunately, they were at the Marriott Residence Inn on Rt. 9 in Poughkeepsie, a full six miles away from campus.
"It's just not guaranteed," said Sarah H. English, the Director of Housing and Residential Life, about the availability of on-campus housing for resident students returning from a medical leave of absence. "They're told this by academic advising, who then report the leave to housing, and upon their return they are initially housed at the Inn until they can be accommodated more appropriately."
"Nobody," said English about the sophomore class, had been denied on-campus housing. Still, she also admitted it did not initially happen that way.
"We had a lot of sophomore spaces open up, particularly among females, this year," English said. Subsequently, almost all of the sophomores housed at the Inn were transferred onto campus right away.
"We [housing] would prefer to help those with transportation issues," English added.
"I don't have car. In fact, I don't even have a driver's license," Butta indicated. "I am blinded on the right sides of both eyes, so, it's going to take me sometime to get a car, if ever."
Yet, transportation issues aside, Butta also had to contend living with total strangers once again. "I was freaking out," Butta recalled, "Because, I was like, oh my God, people who didn't have enough priority points, rejects, and stuff."
"But, then of course, I didn't ever really think of the good side," he said. He often wondered, "Well, what if there are people just like me?"
In the end, Butta managed to find a last-minute opening with his friends in Midrise a week before the start of the semester. "It was hard enough, because with all of the surgery and stuff, it was really hard to talk to my friends anyway," Butta said. "Even just coming back here, I was already worried that all the friends I made had forgotten about me, which of course wasn't true."
Still, Butta is somewhat disappointed about the way housing handled his initial request. "They just told me that somehow my name, or slip, or whatever fell through somewhere and they just forgot about me and I ended up in the hotel," he said. "I was forgotten."
However, in spite of all that has happened, Butta is extremely happy that things eventually worked out the way they did. "This is my ideal of what I wanted to happen," he said. "When I heard about all the housing and how to get it freshmen year, being in Midrise was my number one choice."
Stretching, his eyes scanned the entire length of the room. "For that to come true was, like, wow," he said.

What is more important when it comes to hanging curtains? For the curtain rod to be mounted near the ceiling, or for the curtains to touch the floor?
My predicament: My family room has 10 ft ceilings. The top of the window trim is about 7 ft from the floor. The curtains we picked out for the family room only come in 84" length, which I thought would be fine. I mounted the rods right above the window trim and the curtains go down to the floor. However, after living with it for a few days, it's beginning to look...weird. Having all that space at the top of the window is making the windows look strangely out of proportion to the rest of the room. I want to remount the hardware closer to the ceiling, but that will mean that my curtains will stop where the window does, and I'm afraid that will have the same affect, just opposite (if that makes any sense at all). What should I do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could have custom draperies made or you could add fabric to the bottom of the ready-made draperies to make them the right length. Personally, I like draperies hung close to the ceiling, but many people do not care to see the blank wall space above the window frame that results when draperies are hung that way. I don't know anyone, however, who doesn't prefer to see their full length draperies reach the floor unless they have baseboard heating. |
Unless you never ever plan to open them, place the rod right at the top of the window casing. It's a big decorating faux pas to have a dumb square of wall showing above the window and below the rod when the draperies are open. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Thu, Nov 15, 12 at 14:53
I think in your case mounting them so they touch the floor is the most appropriate. (In other words where they are now) In order for them to look correct hanging from ceiling height, they would have to be full length to the floor. |
"It's a big decorating faux pas to have a dumb square of wall showing above the window and below the rod when the draperies are open." I was wondering about this too, actually. I can see how that would look equally dorky. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Thu, Nov 15, 12 at 15:39
That is actually amazing. Definitely something to think about! |
What is more important when it comes to hanging curtains? For the curtain rod to be mounted near the ceiling, or for the curtains to touch the floor? For the curtains to touch the floor. |
I agree with pal completely. |

"It's a big decorating faux pas to have a dumb square of wall showing above the window and below the rod when the draperies are open." It's actually not a "faux pas" at all. Like many things in decorating, it all boils down to personal preference. Look in any magazine, from BH&G to AD, and you'll find it done both ways by interior designers touted as the best. |

I get so impatient with all the moderately priced retailers who provide curtains that are too durn short to look the least bit elegant or well proportioned in most people's houses. As many of you know too well, I am a big fan of long panels hung high, with bamboo, matchstick, or Roman blinds behind the rod to cover the top of the window trim. Thank you, Nate Berkus, for a perfect example of how effective that can be. Here's a sketch (made for another post) of how I suggested the idea to handle a set of small high windows. |
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Bronwynn's mom-- I will have the high, small window problem in the house I am moving into. I have a few ideas about how to handle them..and now you've given me another to add to my bag of tricks. Love the bookshelves. I also saw a cute setup with a line of small prints above a bed and beneath the window. The key, whether dealing with blank space above or below the window, seems to be to use the space or hide it. |
Thanks, Pal....that's what I was talking about... That's a good solution to that dumb square over the rod problem. And Allison, of course you are right...it's all about what you like. BUT...then I wonder what the purpose of this forum is??? |

The host gets the opportunity to map paths in any way it pleases. You

Ardour uses this facility to create symbolic links in the plugin's state

The nice thing about this is that any stupid tool, like tar, can be used
to archive and distribute self-contained sessions. It's also easy to
see what went wrong and fix it manually in the shell or file manager (If
you moved your samples directory, for example). I recommend this
strategy to all plugins and hosts, having absolute paths buried in some
file in who knows what syntax is evil, particularly considering the fact
that we have session storage for apps as well.

Mitt Romney defends his stance on taxes, rejecting revenue hike
Mitt Romney reiterated his position Sunday and drew clear lines of contrast with President Obama, who has encouraged Americans to consider tax hikes on the wealthy.
Evan Vucci/AP
During a bus tour of potentially pivotal heartland states, Mitt Romney is drawing clear lines of contrast with President Obama on taxes: The Republican challenger says that as president, he would reject a budget fix that calls for new taxes as part of the mix.
In an appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday, during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, Mr. Romney was asked if he would agree to a deficit-reduction plan that involves $1 in new taxes for every $10 in spending cuts.
The former Massachusetts governor said he wouldn't, reaffirming a position he had taken during debates with other contenders for the Republican nomination.
That position stands in stark contrast with the White House incumbent on one of the central issues in the presidential race. Mr. Obama has called for addressing chronic budget deficits with a mix of spending cuts and tax hikes – especially by calling on the wealthiest Americans to pay more in taxes.
"Do we want to keep these tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans?" Obama asked in his State of the Union address in January. "Or do we want to keep our investments in everything else – like education and medical research, a strong military and care for our veterans? Because if we're serious about paying down our debt, we can't do both."

Jun 9, 2014 10:12 AM by Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Oakland police are trying to determine a motive for a shooting that left a 15-year-old girl dead and two men wounded, one critically.
The shooting occurred Saturday night as the car the three victims were in neared a street.
Sgt. Randy Brandwood tells the Oakland Tribune someone opened fire on the vehicle, hitting all three occupants. The driver was able to back up before stopping against a fence.
The girl was pronounced dead at the scene. Brandwood said the driver and the other passenger, both in their 20s, were taken to a hospital.
The driver was in stable condition. The other man was critical.
None of the victims has been identified.
Brandwood said the driver did not cooperate with investigators when they tried to interview him.

What were the most popular gifts this past holiday season?
Hmmm. Well, there was Let's Rock Elmo. And that weird Elf on the Shelf thing. I'm sure iPads made the cut (though someone neglected to purchase me one.)
All worthy entries. But I'd like to make one more suggestion: a home soda machine called SodaStream.
Made by an Israeli company called SodaStream International (NASDAQ:SODA), the device turns ordinary home tap water into tasty carbonated beverages. The company also sells syrups with flavors like cola, lemon-lime and pink grapefruit, along with energy drinks, iced tea and cocktail mixers.
SodaStream first debuted in the United States through Costco but is now available through a hodgepodge of retailers including J.C. Penney, Macy's, and Staples.
The device is apparently a huge hit. In an research note, Monness Crespi analyst Jim Chartier surveyed more than 1,500 stores and reported "widespread stockouts" at retailers like Target and Best Buy. SodaStream shares promptly jumped nearly seven percent to close Tuesday at $34.86.
Is SodaStream just a fad? Perhaps. But it has at least two things going for it.
One: Its distribution system in the United States is quite impressive. When formats as divergent as supermarkets, department stores, discounters, gas stations and electronics retailers are selling the same product, you know you got something big.
Two: SodaStream is marketing its machine as earth friendly. Using ordinary tap water at home precludes the need for plastic bottles. Cities like New York and San Francisco have been trying to curtail the use of bottled water.
Best Buy, in particular, has been trying to position itself as retailer that believes in sustainability. The retailer has increased purchase locations for SodaStream from 700 stores to all 1000.
I suddenly crave soda.
